  1. Nice report Kohn. You certainly covered some ground!! Paul
  2. Nice write up. Next time you are in the Beehive area, check out M67 the Golden Eye cluster. Paul
  3. Delos all the way..... (not tried the Pentax though). 72° of pint sharp stars. Paul
  4. I’ve been very impressed with the Baader mk III and MkIV. Had one for white light and one for HA! But, these are the only zooms that I have tried. Paul
  5. That is some very faint work! Good spot. Possibly a step too far for my sky/eyes. The forecast is looking good for tomorrow though.... Paul
  6. NGC2403 now on my observing list! Thanks Paul
  7. Sky Safari is probably one of the best. Loads of information and easy to use. Paul
  8. Those are some properly faint targets! Won’t stop me trying though. Thanks for posting. Paul
  9. Just had a quick look through the bins. A lovely sight to be sure!
  10. Nice and clear here. So should be heading your way Stu. Paul
  11. 10” flex tube Dob for me. I can just about carry it comfortably in one piece and it has plenty of light grasp. Carry, place, observe. Simple. Sadly it is out of action at the moment so I have to rely on its 16” cousin which is not practical at all! The little 72mm frac gets very little use as everything seems a bit dim after Dob viewing. I used to have an ED120 which was much better. Paul
  12. Think that you have covered all the angles there! A very fine setup. Paul
  13. Thanks Don Much appreciated. Paul
  14. Yes. That is pretty much how it works.
  15. To move the turntable and thus adjust the height you undo a thumb screw and twist the whole top.
  16. Thank you all for your advice. Despite the obvious charms of wider viewing. I’m going to go for a second hand Delos 14mm and hope to try a ES92° Or APM eyepiece at a star party in the near future. Paul
  17. The M86 chain under dark sky has got to be one of the finest sights in the sky. Very jealous. But I enjoyed the writeup. 😁 Thanks for posting Paul
  18. Wow! That is a really impressive number of galaxies. Thanks for posting. Paul
  19. Thanks John I don’t wear glasses to observe and would struggle to hold a hovering eye position. Whereas I know that I can observe all night comfortably with a Delos. Paul
  20. ES92°? That is interesting. What scope do you use it with?
  21. Nice looking collection. There is a big gap in the case.... what will fill that?? Paul
  22. Thanks Don So I focus using the Paracorr rather than the focuser? Sorry about the blindingly basic question, but I’ve only ever found the need for one with wide wide angle eyepieces which i’ve only owned at the long end of things. I’m sure that I’ve got an in travel adapter from when I had a set of Delos back when there were a few more ££ available for Astro gear. Paul
  23. I love the galaxy clusters like Stephen’s Quintet or ARP 316 cluster, but want to get the best from single galaxies like M51. Sadly the Docter is a bit exotic for my wallet!
